If you're looking for a good comedy, #NorthofNorth on Netflix is great.

I assume media recommendations are why people follow me.

Laudato si' (24 May 2015) | Francis Encyclical Letter Laudato si' of the Holy Father Francis on care for our common home (24 May 2015)

With the death of Pope Francis, the world has lost one of its strongest advocates for responsible stewardship of Earth, disproportionate effects of climate change on the poor, and the role of science. This is a time to re-read his powerful encyclical, Laudato Si.

Trump Laid Off Nearly All the Federal Workers Who Investigate Firefighter Deaths The cuts, which are part of Trump’s slashing of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, will also halt a first-of-its-kind study of the causes of thousands of firefighters’ cancer cases.

NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.

Trump laid off nearly all of them.

One of the most pernicious ideas of non scientists (politicians especially) is that scientific research can be turned on and off like a spigot without consequences.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.

He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.

Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

"I don't regret the vote": Why most Trump voters stand by him, even as he ruins their live It's not totally hopeless: Some swing voters who backed Trump may learn their lesson

Not happy about it, but I called it: the Wisconsin guy whose wife got scooped by ICE on their honeymoon still doesn't regret voting for Trump.

MAGA is a cult and what we know is the worse it gets, the more cult members double down.

All Democratic Senators need to vote no on all nominees. These EOs are unconstitutional, this is an existential threat to the US and y'all need to start acting like it.

Big fan of Interior Chinatown on Hulu. If you like mindbending mystery shows, with comedy and heart, and meaningful themes around identity and what it means to play a part in society, you’ll like this. And it’s a 10-ep limited series. Perfect holiday binge!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
